Odd that he doesn't know WWFM when he had Adam over to his house for a Halloween party a couple years ago when WWFM first came out. http://justjared.buzznet.com/2009/11/01/katy-perrys-halloween-costume-camels-hump/Bad memory or bad form? Whatever . . .

Let's not get too worked up. Logically he can't say one person sings something better than another without hearing both version but he was just giving a well deserved compliment to one of the contestants. It was a good performance at the very least. He's a busy guy, I'm sure, and can't sit and listen to every song that comes out. Sure he might have heard it in passing a few times but that doesn't mean he remembers it. Cut the guy some slack. Adam Lambert understands where he was coming from. No apology necessary. I have to question the judgment of fans that start twitter wars as if they represent the actual artist. Relax, it's not that serious and both men respect one another. Lets follow Adam Lambert's example, have a sense of humor about it, and keep it moving.

honest as he said not heard the song before, and yet he went on saying the contestant (probably) sang better than the original singer? what if the song was sung by smokey robinson some 20 years ago, wouldn't it be disrespectful to smokey or any original singer for that matter? lol he is a douche bag!!

@Uranus, why do you say that you think "most" gays respect Adam? That is certainly not my experience with friends with gay sons or comments over at afterelton. As far as Levine goes, still believe it to be a personal jab at Adam. You notice he said nothing positive about Adam in his tweet. ... Adamluv

This is what I was waiting to see if Adam Levine would show respect for our Adam and put out a statement.

In truth, I hope this will serve as a lesson learned in how NOT to give a critique!! Especially when you have no knowledge (or so you say) of the original version or artist who sang the song.

I really do hope that they will invite our ADAM to sing on THE VOICE. Maybe he should OPEN with a Queen song (show Adam L. how it should be sung) and then move on to a powerful new song off his new album!!

I am not as forgiving as some here. Nothing Levine tweets can convince me that what he said wasn't a cheap shot at Adam Lambert. And that also goes for Blake Shelton's comment. Blake, your wife WAS the worst dressed on the Grammy red carpet last year, just like AFL said.

Remember Adam Lambert was asked to apologize for the American on TV and he stood firmly and never apologize for what he believe. Nobody want any fanwars in this blog, love is what Adam want most in his life. I do agree Adam should be invited to sing on TV again.

O.K.- I'm am a softy (I'll admit)I for one was so mad at adam levine (couldn't even finish watching the voice last night until today)but I think he got overwelmed by tweets,articles, ect he either I hope thought about what he said and finally apolized or either 2 it's not sincere and relized he better do this to save his own skin. we'll never know, but I'll give him the benefit of the doubt cuz I really was liking him alot on the voice (never heard of him before this however) Well the positive thing is everyone got publicity The voice, adam levine and adam lambert. All is good as adam said. I'm once again proud to be a glambert and I do believe we are getting a name for ourselves. Not sure if that's a good thing or not, but it is amazing most of us all think along the same lines when it comes to defending our adam. Should be interesting tonight on the voice if nakia gets through or better yet if adam levine addresses this issue. Even my non fan friend said wow that was a low blow at adam last night wasn't it? People did notice and levine knows this! peace and love

I certainly don't want to start any war and I'm glad Levine "responded". As I said on a previous thread, jealousy is a bitter pill to swallow. Only the REAL stars will acknowledge Adam Lambert's talent. I include Katy Perry in that group as she acknowledged Adam on AI (with the cape) even before he was famous. I mean, really, would it kill Levine, Christina, Celo, or Blake to actually give our sweet Adam Lambert a compliment. And, I don't buy that Levine never heard him sing the song. Yeah, right! GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR! I guess they just don't want to share the spotlight. (hahaaaa-too late!)nancdruuu2

I'm glad Levine actually said something and it was pro-Adam.Funny he is so out of touch with the current scene though. It's like your doctor saying, Gee, I've never heard of Advil. Adam won the Much Music Award last year for this song.When I was young we had a slang term for someone who was sort of an idiot or a jerk and we called them a "maroon" haha

to little to late, Levine is not credible. I never knew who he was until last night and really didn't want to know. That was more information than I wanted. Him showing his ignorance was more than enough.

I had to laugh at that ditzy blond (no disrespect to blonds as I am one but not ditzy) on the twitter stage on the Voice last night who bragged that Nakia and Levine were trending. I thought 'yu cn bet ur as ther trndng, ditz. L cuz of ur idiot juj.' You would think everyohe would know not to mess with a nest of Glam Bees. We'll sting you til you don't have any place to sting left.

I think that sounds like an honest tweet. It was such a shame to have Adam's song be sung and then have a negative comment. We are all so sick of Adam having to put up with the negativity...I'm ready to move on cautiously. Still like Idol better than The Voice though. Nakia did a very nice job singing Adam's difficult song.

@anon 2.31I was just going to post the link to that Halloween party, so he certainly knows who AFL is seeing as he was a guest at his halloween party. And surely if you know someone well enough to invite them to a party at your house, then you'd have at least a slight interest in listening to music from them.Also re the never having heard it before - aren't the Grammys voted for by the artists themselves? if so , and if Adam Levine had voted, then surely he would have actually listened to the nominated artists/songs before voting?I watched the clip yesterday of his comments, and even if you give him the benefit of the doubt over what he said, I would say judging by his body language he knew perfectly what he was saying and how it came across.

GOOD! Glad Adam Levine came to his sense...now can somebody please tell me this rumor about Prez Hilton taking JLo's spot at the judges table is B.S....Please Somebody?!I don't care for JLo...but Prez would be a nightmare!!! yuck!!!!

Oh, puleeze!! Of COURSE it was a cheap shot. Why are y'all even questioning that? And the "I'm NOT sorry" first tweet was even more pissy.

However, it's over. Levine was obviously brought to his knees by the Glambert Nation, and had to bow down in the end, LOL.

Good job, all.

Also, I do have to agree. I know a number of gay men who do NOT give Adam any respect. It's just meow meow meow all the way. Quite catty. It's like anything. Some like him, some don't. There certainly is NO concensus there on the basis of sexuality...

I remember on one of "The Voice" shows, A. Levine said he didn't pick one of the contestants because he/she had a better voice than his. That makes me think he has heard WWFM, and that was a barely disguised low blow. Like anonymous 2:48 said, what if it was sung by one of the greats... He knew it was Adam, that's why he felt comfortable saying what he said.Like Adam said, he shoudld just wait till his new album comes out, then say he doesnt know who he is.

URIIIIIIIIIIWhere have U been??? And I could give a Flying **ck about all this BS. Who cares?? MOVE ON as Adam said.

I'm too busy COUNTING THE DAYS till I see Adam F Lambert in Quebec!!! Yup, I will be seeing "His Sexiness" in the flesh... All ready feeling *faint*... And just waitin' till Adam's new album drops, and he #BlowsEveryoneAway! Can't wait!!!

I think "The Voice" is only on for a couple more weeks. There are many many people who don't know who Adam Lambert is, consequently they would not know his music. I like Adams answer, Just wait until his new album comes out. I have a feeling that a lot more people will know who Adam is, they might not like him, but they will know who he is. I think this will be a pivotal year for Adam, and Sony better promote him more, in all honesty it hasn't been very long for anyone to know who Adam is. If you don't watch AI, that was where he got his platform, why would you go to his concerts? Remember he is the new kid on the block. Next year will be different.By the way where is Sauli, still planting seeds for his dad? Adam would be sponsoring him to come into this country permently, possibly red tape holding things up. Peace and Love Lets stop the name calling, we are bigger than that.

Levine put the right label on it. It was a cheap shot and now that he's caught out, he is back peddling. A little competition bother you Levine? Personally thought Levine's last video about the bed totally stupefying, and just plain dumb. I also like CeeLo Green, very talented guy. Don't hear him taking cheap shots at anyone.

Let's all make a history of the 21 century in music by showing up to Adam's concert in Quebec on 7/29/2011. How about that? Buy your tickets. Make your hotel and flight reservations now. Let's blow this concert up by showing our support to one of the most charismatic performer of 21st century, Adam Lambert. Levine will bite his tongue by the end of July.

Sorry but I'm not good with this when Levine was on the board to select the Grammy winners for last year! And I'm not good with the fact that Levine is a judge on a music/voice show and doesn't recognize one of the top 50 songs from last year. This is major bullshit. I'm letting it go because there's no other choice, but either he's one mean SOB or incompetent.

What a shame that lots of so called "Glamberts" think that insulting, making judgements on others, calling names and so on is a respectable and tolerant thing. They don't look at themselves and see that they are doing exactly the opposite as Adam Lambert prefers: respect, love, tolerance. I'm a Lambert fan, but it's a shame to be in the bunch with lots of insane people that call themselves fans. They don't realize the ridiculous they make, they let Lambert down and the only thing they get is the hatred toward everything Lambert. Many people haven't heard about Adam, I know a lot of people that have no idea who Adam Lambert is, and because of that I won't hold a grudge towards them, I won't insult them. They have other things to do and have other tastes. You are part of the reason many don't like Adam. Many detest many so called Glamberts because of their poisonous tongues. It's a insane. Many are not fans, they simply are hysterical obsessed no-life "human beings".

Yes, I agree. I love Adam like crazy, but the more our fanbase acts like loonies and over-the-top nuts, the worse it is for Adam. People lose respect for him through our actions. We need to step back and stop doing this every time we perceive any criticism of him. JUST STOP IT! Would Adam himself act like this? NO. If there is a "next time" incident, let's all take a deep breath and THINK before we react. We are NOT helping Adam by being snarky and rude to others, whether they meant what they said or not. Let's be the classy ones, like Adam himself. CLASSY.DRG

i think most of the twitter comments to Adam Levine were pretty mild, many just sending links to various versions of Adams WWFM, many others saying how can you say say Nakia was better than the original when you say you haven't heard the original.Adam Levine was on E sorta of making an apology to Adam, and saying he admired his passionate fans.

I thanks CeLo for giving Adam props on the show. Adam Lavine made a mistake...we all know our Adam can sing. Lesson learned NO Wars I do not like that suggestion at all. The invokes hate and our Adam would never like that one bit. GaGa war that is crazy in its self. Her monsters are as crazy as us. Not a good idea. I like the idea of colaberating fandoms myself. Now there's a great idea.

@DRG - i strongly agree with your suggestions. In cases like this one, it would be wiser to follow exactly what Adam is showing us. There is really no need to overdo things. I really appreciate your post as well as those of the others with the same message.

I can understand how we can all be passionate about Adam but i would rather follow the examples he is setting. I don't mean to dampen our high spirits but we can all reserve our energies and wisely choose the battles we shld fight for our diamond boy. But believe me i can relate with how most of us could be over protective of him LOL i am guilty myself teehee.

@HK fan - i'm glad to know that most of the twitter comments are respectful, thanks for the info.

OT@HH - i left a post for you at the NEW PICTURE OF ADAM LAMBERT AND HANS HAVERON (June 16). Hope you'll find time to read it. Saludos a usted mi querida amiga.

My only real issue with A. Levine was his comment that the performance was "maybe better than the original singer"...That was a risky, disrespectful, and irresponsible thing to say about another artist, especially given the fact that he says he has never actually heard the song in the first place, so had not heard any of Adam's versions..I would assume that fans of ANY singer whose song was being covered would not be amused by this comment. It was a poor choice of words on his part. (Along with the "falling flat" part). And his tweet that said he wasn't sorry... He just really put both feet in his mouth and is now eating some "crow"..Glad to see he knows we love and support Adam..I think most fans were just dismayed at his choice of words.

As usual our guy Adam Lambert handled the whole thing with humor and class..And once again I'm reminded of why I am such a dedicated fan. I'm over this..and moving on. And so looking forward to the new album.

And speaking of Adam's New Album!!!!! Yay! I know someone posted this link already, but just wanted to remind everyone that New York Magazine has his new album listed as the NUMBER ONE MOST ANTICIPATED UPCOMING MUSIC...AHEAD OF MANY OTHER BIGGER NAMES IN MUSIC..!!! Pretty fabulous, I'd say! Just look at the first nine on the list..VERY impressive that he is THE Most Anticipated....So take THAT Adam Levine..sorry couldn't resist ; )

Occassionaly one needs to stand up to some things and even Adam has and would do this! I think it is great adams fans are so passionate to want to stand up to insulting behaviour. Sometimes Adam will be in a position where he can't or shouldn't do this in any case and I think fans are in best position to be able to instead.

Adam Levine – I don’t buy it but I guess he issued an apology of sorts so he wouldn’t look entirely in the wrong, but he is.

I’d never heard of Adam Levine either until this fiasco but I’m aware of Maroon 5 and not a fan of their music.

Sure, there are times when Glamberts need to be less verbose but I don’t think we need to be lectured about it.

Re an earlier comment .... I hope someone takes JLo’s spot on AI. Another season of her saying over and over ad nauseam ‘I love you’ and ‘you know I love you’ goes beyond the pale. All 3 judges were pathetic this year and imho, they should ALL be replaced.

I wish Adam had a "fan" representative close to him so that this rep can speak for us all. & if you tell me he does already, then that "fan" rep needs to be replaced, cuz they're doing a crappy job!!!How can a mediocre blojoe cover be better than Adam lambert? Huh?My love for Adam is so strong, I am numb to all other music artists, I could care less what music they put out or how they sing.What bothers me is Glamberts not understanding the passion we each have inside ourselves for Adam. Some may not be as extreme as others & some may not be as weak . Some Glamberts are so resourceful, some Glamberts may be more horny, & some Glamberts just may feel all the love in the world for Adam. I love being a Glambert! I don't belong to any special group, maybe here at times, but , what is so special about us is that we share a passion for a very passionate human being! Adam keeps telling us "we are so passionate!".

OT - Cheryl Cole to replace JLo as AI judge? I heard that Simon Cowell dropped Cheryl from the US X-Factor (as a judge) because she had such a strong British accent that no one in US could understand her.
